Today, anything and everything has a price or is considered worthless. This larger-than-large false binary now permeates every nook and cranny of every ecosystem on planet Earth. But who decides what is valuable and what is not?

Is the decision maker even human? Or perhaps a Russian bot or algorithm from Wall Street or the City of London.

Our world has become supernatural as machines erase all memory of anything real, revealing only recycled hallucinations, delivering their images on a perpetual conveyor belt we call the “24-hour news cycle.”

Over a century ago, humans were simply left alone with our dismay, wallowing neck-deep in neo-Puritan confusion and anxiety that triggered the “objectification” of the working masses, which transformed people into objects of labor power. Labor was bought and sold, creating a dehumanized existence. Stripped of everything human, the working poor were forced to sell themselves to survive.

Technology has changed, but conditions for the working poor have remained inhumane.

In an interview dated June 24, 2024, the surrealist poet Annie le Brun (1942-2024) was asked: Are we witnessing a return of puritanism?

Le Brun replied:

Yes, and this goes hand in hand with deregulation which is not only financial or climatic, but general, and which spreads with the commodification of everything. Hence the disordered and worrying return of all forms of conformism to which individuals seek to cling, through reactions stereotyped by the identity they have chosen.

We “Americans” are the clear winners in the contest to determine who is the most violent society in an increasingly violent world. There is nothing that has not been bombed by the combination of the military and psychological arsenal of the American Empire. Yes, we are number 1 in the production of bunker busting bombs.

At the same time, there is a widespread misperception in our society that the Internet and digital technology seem to expand our possibilities for communication. As the Internet increasingly intrudes into our once-private inner lives, without our being the least bit aware of it, we are herded (“pushed”) into a prison of meaningless images used to control and manipulate. humanity throughout the world.

The murderous grip of global capital now extends far beyond the extraction of commodities, the exploitation of nature, and the enslavement of human physical labor. Humanity now faces new weapons designed to erase life based on water and sunlight and replace it with programmable matter, or “life” on a silicon chip.

The Davos billionaires’ demented ideas of enslavement, domestication and exploitation of Mother Earth’s life forces in a cold, lifeless global bio-informatics system rely on blockchain and AI as the ultimate singularity of colonists and colonizers.

The dominators, the little men, want to control everything. They fail to see that they are sowing the seeds of their own demise. Like Icarus flying too close to the sun, their vulgar machinations are already vaporizing, plunging into the sea.

Remember the ancestors who led this struggle for centuries, millennia. Remember the history of Indigenous genocide and slavery. Understand that the origins of “smart city” programming and Agenda 21 lie in the inconceivable nightmare of an imaginary world where everything can be bought. And remember that it is often at the darkest moment that reversal can begin to manifest.

The seeds of passion and love are more powerful than anything they can throw at us. Have faith, resist, rebel, stay patient, loving and strong until the sun does its work. Imagine and nourish the inner love that sees and feels in nature the power and ground of being, which is creatively active through nature.

Never agree to be a thing. Don’t hold anything back. And above all, remember: natural bats last!
